-pp---ff-' - Columbus High students spend an enlightening lunch hour with Mrs. Elizabeth Bradley, social studies teacher and friend. She amuses them by telling of many interesting experiences hap- pening during her long and wonderful career as a teacher. 1961? Who will be our next president is what all of the classes taking social studies are wondering. Some groans may be heard as the Observers and Weekly News Reviews are issued and even more when the time comes for the semester test, but their importance is realized. The objectives of the social studies department are to give the student a knowledge and understanding of our democracy through the teaching of history, geog- raphy, government and social problems. The social studies courses provide opportunities for students to take part in constructive citizenship and democratic practices. They teach the student to think clearly, to evaluate and to reach sound conclusions. Social studies teachers this year are stressing the study of current events and individual progress in their classes. Also, they use films, field trips, speakers and other aids to promote learning. Sixty-seven per cent Aof all CHS students take social studies courses of one type or another. These subjects prepare students for their lives as citizens. servers watch world toda Miss Mary Fort, G.S.C.W., A.B., University of Georgia, M.A. Mrs. Sally Baugh, Gaucha College, A.B.

balance. C225 Thirty-six typewriters peck, 35 basketballs bounce, 293 paint brushes swash, a few biscuits burn and a few voices squeak as the many preparatory courses are taught at CHS. The preparatory courses at CHS are used to endow the pupil with certain crafts and skills which the student will have occasion to use in his chosen vocation or avocation. Such classes are ROTC, art, typing, short- hand, bookkeeping, physical education, music and home economics. Art, commercial courses and home economics carry a full academic unit to be counted toward a diploma. ROTC and the musical courses carry a full non-academic unit, of which two are required for graduation. Physical education is worth only half a non-academic unit. The various classes taught which come under this heading are not heavily required for a diploma, but are very important to the student in developing his talents and creating for him a well-rounded personality and attitude. Skills give learnin The seventh period home economics class gains practice in preparing and serving a meal.

C24-J What seems to be your trouble, Bill? asks Mrs. Althea Booth, eighth grade math instructor, to sub-freshman Bill Gordy as he struggles with an extremely difficult math problem. lt is there that students build a strong background in mathematics. Math class, at our desks we sit, Our brains are numb, weive lost our wits, We've racked our brains and sought and sought, But from our brains comes not a thought. Every student who has ever taken math can apply this poem to his feelings at the beginning of a hard test. ln the eighth grade we counted on our fingers but when seniors we learned that fingers can't be used to figure logarithms. The goal of the CHS mathematics department is to give all students a good background in math. This is very important to everyone because math is the back- bone of all types of work. Knowledge of this fact is evi- denced by the great number of pupils taking advantage of the courses offered them. Approximately 88 per cent of the students take these. Math courses vary from gen- eral math to analytic geometry. Our mathematics department stresses hard work and accuracy. With difficult problems our minds are forced to learn by this constant reasoning and practice in thinking. umbers build Miss Mildred Brown, Shorter College, A.B. Mr. O. D.
